When the first number can divide the second without remainder.
The formal definition would be as follows:
For integers x and y, x is a factor of y if there exists an integer n such that y = n*x
Divide the Second Number by the first number. If remainder = 0, the first number is factor of second number.
If the smaller number divides evenly into the larger number with no remainder, the smaller number is a factor of the larger number.
The easiest way is to divide the number by the suspected factor.
Yes. If you know one factor of a number, divide it into the number. The answer will be another factor.
Yes you can find an answer.
The greatest factor of any number is the number itself.
n = 6, 12, 18, 24
The greatest factor of 24 is 24. The greatest factor of a number is the number itself.
Explaining how to find all factors pairs of 40 is easy. All you have to do is find which whole numbers 40 can be divided into.
When you want to find the prime factorization of a composite number.
Factors come in pairs. If you know one factor, divide it into the number. The answer will be another factor.
That presumes that you already have one. Take the one you have and divide it into the number. Voila! Another factor.
It means that you find out the size of part of the number but not all of it.
84 factor is
10
At least another number is needed to find their GCF
A whole number, f, is a factor of another whole number, n, if f goes into n some exact number of times - that is, it leaves no remainder. Another way of putting it is: if you have a number n, then f is a factor of n if you can find a number, g (not necessarily different), such that f*g = n
This would be called a "factor". A number may be made by multiplying two or more other numbers together. The numbers that are multiplied together are called factors of the final number.
Divide the number by one of the known factors. Then divide the quotient by another factor. Continue with all the known factors. What you are left with at the end is the missing factor.
The factors of 84 are 1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42 and 84. To find a greatest common factor, you need to compare them to another number's factors.
to find a factor of a number you have to 1. find the hcf (highest common factor) 2. find how many times the hcf goes into your number AND THAT IS YOUR ANSWER!
16080,240,2,220,2,2,2102,2,2,25,2,2,2,2,2You need another number to compare this one with to find a GCF or an LCM.
